Ah Heng Duck Rice, Hong Lim Food Centre

Ah Heng Duck Rice, Hong Lim Food Centre

Word on the wire (yes, it still comes from wires these days; in fact, more than ever) that the proprietor of Ah Heng (#02-64, Hong Lim Food Centre, 531A Upper Cross Street) is the same person that used to run Heng Gi down at the Tekka Food Centre. In restrospect, the thin sliced duck did look rather familiar.

I'm gonna have to file this Teochew styled braised duck as good, but not great. Even though their constant queue belied otherwise. There was just something I couldn't put my finger to that could have made this memorable. I did enjoy the flat kuey chap with their clear tasting broth though even though the fried shallots were oddly lacking in flavour.
